awww...he kisses back!

out of nowhere the other night, he kissed mike back! it was the cutest thing. i have been trying to show him how to do it for a while now, and in the beginning there wasn't necessarily reciprocation on his part, but he would open his mouth and stick out his tongue (very g-rated, he just didn't know any better). now, when you go to kiss him he leans towards you. of course, only if he feels like it. i'd say 50% of the time he puts his hand up and pushes you away! i guess i should get used to it, as i'm sure he'll only do that more often as he gets older!

and he still doesn't like to sleep! you'd think after 9 months we would be done with sleep issues, but that is not the case. jack decided he needed to get up 3 times last night. mike usually goes in first, because once jack sees me he wants to eat. well, he was not having it last night. i tried to soothe him back for over an hour around midnight, and finally he just lost it. so i caved and fed him, and he was out in about 10 minutes. well, then continued the pattern at 3:30, & 5 am...so fun. i think perhaps it was teething related and his front teeth are still making their way down. here's to hoping it was just a fluke...i'm really tired today!

he eats just like his dad...shoving it in all at once;) emily post would have a field day with him!

whenever he sees me with the camera, he crawls right up to me...he wants to get his hands on the camera in the worst way.

and it is true that all a kid needs is a cardboard box to keep he/she occupied!
